WHO: Kings of Leon w/ The Like
WHEN and WHERE: Oct. 7, Ziggy's, Winston-Salem
I'll give a quick rundown of this show.
The Like opened up, and sounded basically like their album - which means they were good.
Kings of Leon hit the stage around 10:30 and played for about an hour.
They played just about everything from their debut, "Youth & Young Manhood," and their sophomore effort, "Aha Shake Heartbreak."
From the first notes of "Molly's Chamber" to the final throwdown of "Slow Night, So Long," the band had the crowd moving and singing along.
Their mellow retro rock was a welcome to surprise to some in the crowd.
I heard, "They're better than I expected," at least twice that night.
While "Pistol of Fire," "The Bucket," "King of the Rodeo," all sounded great, I was a little disappointed by the lack of "Holy Roller Novocaine."
All in all, it was a great show in a comfortable setting. Ziggy's was more than half-full which is a great turnout for Kings of Leon.
Hopefully, they'll come back around the area soon, and even more will show up.
